the element name DR.diagnosisCode is misleading and does not accurately represent the definition: code for the conclusion and if you look at DR.conclusion it is defined as "Concise and clinically contextualized impression / summary of the diagnostic report."

OO is Considering

1 )Change conclusion element name to impression type text ( markdown??)

('results 'would be better but already used as an element name)

2) Changing element name diagnsosisCode to impressionCode to align with the definition.

@Grahame Grieve when you authored DR is this what you meant?

Is "conclusion" a common term used to represent the diagnostic reports summary?

Also diagnosisCode is a loaded term often implying some type of billing code.

one is intended to be a code for the other, I think
